How is the camera lense? My last cover made my pictures very blurry up to the point cant see anything through the camera.

The back cover comes with a very thin film over the camera lens as well as over the back glass. You would be hard pressed to even notice the film on the camera lens since it' perfectly cut. After install, I suggest you clean/rub the camera lens with alcohol and a swab. Doing so will scratch the thin plastic film, but not the glass since it's much harder. Then, you'll know it's there and you need to remove it. I had to rub pretty good to get the edge to lift just enough so some tweezers could remove the film. It's that tricky. After it's removed, your pics will look crystal clear.

It fit great on my Verizon 4, but it CAME with a cloudy piece oh plastic/glass that makes taking pictures impossible!! I sent them back to have some clear ones returned... No news yet. But I highly doubt I got unlucky.. they must all be like that.. Good for looks, but bad for operation

Not sure bc it didn't even fit my phone correctly. Had to throw it away bc it was junk.

I noticed that you have to have proper lighting for the camera to focus. If not you never get the green light to take the picture. Outside of that may just be a dirty lense.

I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

yes, I had the same problem after 6 months of owning the camera. With my camera, the lens froze open while after using the camera. I sent it to Canon while it was still under warranty and they fixed it. But I am worried that it will do the same thing again. I am really disappointed with this product!

It's funny you mention the lense. I have put it my pocket and now it wont close. It is a real pain. I thank you for your honesty. It probably was a rep I was talking to. I wish I could have tried the casio beforexmaking my purchase. But I didn't have the time to wait for it to get here by mail. Perhaps my next camera purchase will be the casio. Thought the canon seems to be working well for now. As long as I make sure the lense cover is completely open. Thanks again.

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

I'm curious . Did you return or keep your lens and are you satisfied with it ? I'm looking to order one for my camera . Thanks .

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

I tried but it does not work. I tried taking a pic through the cover and it came out not perfect but somewhat good.

I am in the same boat, I loved my Powershot but ... I am trying NOT to buy a Canon because of terrible Customer Service I received when it got damp and the lens gasket dropped off. But my Coolpix takes awful pictures 80% of the time. I thought it was me but have since found out it's the camera. I will now look at the Lumix since my nephew also recommended it. Thanks

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

Hi Edward. I had a few of my pictures turn out the same way. I was holding the camera wrong and my finger was covering the lens. You do need to have quite a bit of light to take a good picture. Works better on outside shots. Good luck. It is a fun little camera. I do enjoy ours.

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it..But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

The image should not be blurry. Have you checked to make sure there is nothing on the viewfinder area...there is a red dial that can change the focus but i wouldn't think it would be blurry even if that was off slightly.
